After Rajasthan, now Himachal Pradesh bans 'Padmavat'

After Rajasthan, another BJP ruled-state has now banned ‘Padmavat’. It is Himachal Pradesh which has now bowed to the fringe whims. It may be noted that Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh have banned the release of the movie, despite it being granted a U/A certificate from the Censor Board of Film Certification's (CBFC). As per reports, there was pressure on the newly-formed Himachal government to ban Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film, following repeated warnings from fringe groups. It is slated to release on January 25, but it seems that the film has not yet managed to shed the myriad controversies surrounding it.
